Do you ever feel like you wouldn’t
be the same person if something hadn’t happened to you? I feel like certain
things happen for a reason, either to teach you a lesson or to help you mature.
I feel like if I had grown up in a super wealthy home I wouldn’t be the same
person I am today. Things like that really transform a person.
The other day I was discussing this
topic with my best friend, and she completely agrees with me. After her family
had a house fire about 6 years ago, she had to quickly morph into a responsible
young adult. They had lost a lot, but no fire could destroy how close knit that
family is. The fire had just brought them closer. That’s why I wonder if that
fire happened for a reason. Maybe her family was meant to get closer or maybe
she was supposed to mature quickly and early.
What if the house fire never
happened? Would she be the same person?
Would I still have become best friends with her? Or would we have lived
completely different lives? This is why I think things happen for a reason. I
can’t imagine what life would be like without her being who she is.
Although the things that happen to
us may be devastating, I think it’s important to remember some positive is going
to come out of it. By growing up in a home wear money is tight, I have become
liable and more down to earth. By experiencing a house fire, my friend had
matured into a grateful, responsible, young lady.
So weather it’s something little
like a rainy day, or something traumatic like a death in the family it all
happens for a reason. Like they say, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Life isn’t going to always be cotton candy and rainbows, so turn those tough
times into positives and let them help you grow into the person you’re meant to
be in life. It all happens for a reason, so let it happen.
